Whats a hop you could live with forever?

[timmi9191]

+1 motueka

 

[Killer Brew]

Saaz for me. Although living without my dark beers in winter would be hard. If I was able to have 2 then would add EKG.

 

[ianh]

Just bought 1kg of each EKG, Styrian Goldings, Czech Saaz, Challenger and Northern Brewer whilst not forever should last for awhile.

 

[Yob]

only 1 hop?

just shoot me now

 

[Gigantorus]

Have really come to love and enjoy Brooklyn/Moutere.

 

[altone]

If I had to stick with just 1 I think Amarillo - even though I'm a pom!

I think top 3 in this order

Amarillo
EKG
Saaz

 

[Samuel Adams]

Simcoe

Hallertau Mittelfrueh & Columbus close runners up

 

[citizensnips]

Chinook, I need it in my life

 

[lost at sea]

what no P.O.R anyone?

 

[Rocker1986]

It would have to be Czech Saaz for me. As much as I love APAs and ESBs and whatnot, the climate here is warm for about 9 months of the year and those Boh Pils go down a bloody treat.

 

[Blind Dog]

Challenger - works in just about any English Style from Mild to IPA and beyond. Used in large quantities late / dry hop it makes a really good APA/AIPA and makes a change from the standard tropical fruit salad, grapefruit, cat piss offerings.

Not sure how it would go in a lager, although it's beautiful in a summer ale (the proper original ones like Summer Lightning that are loaded with hops), which do a similar thirst quenching job during hot summer weather

 

[drsmurto]

Another vote for Challenger.

 

[tarmael]

Columbus - easy pick.

 

[mofox1]

As much as I'd yearn for the fresh hit of cascade, I reckon it would have to be EKG. Diverse enough to used almost anywhere.

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

POR...FTW










and SAAZ

 

[Dave70]

Not seeing much love for Sorachi ace.

 

[shacked]

Northdown

 

[barls]

aurora. just because of the flavour is close to sytrians and has a decent alpha.

 

[Vini2ton]

East Kent Goldings, the quiet achiever, getting the job done. Like an English rose, subtle and not crass or over-stated.

 

[Sunshine_Brewer]

Hallertau Mittelfrueh

If disease broke out and wiped the crop then Saaz all the way.
